Researchers at WalletHub looked at more than 180 of the biggest U.S. cities to try and find the best places to get married in Houston. They narrowed their findings down to several factors including cost-effectiveness and convenience.

The data set also ranged from the average wedding cost to the number of venues, and event spaces per capita, to the availability of wedding vendors.

Its findings led WalletHub to rank Houston as the 8th best place to get married, a little after Austin, which ranked 6th. The Space City was also ranked number one in having the most bridal shops per capita.
